The lining is stronger and more corrosion resistant than any other in the industry. Glass Coated Heating Element Scale and sediment build-up on the surface of the element can lead to premature failure. A. O. Smith Glass Coating helps to prevent scale formation and extends the life of the heating element. Anode Rod The tank has an anode rod which has stainless steel core that is designed to protect the tank from corrosive elements. The anode rod uses a special cathodic action to fight these elements and thus prolong the life of the water heater. Temperature Control Knob The temperature control knob allows you to set the temperature precisely between 25ºC to 75ºC. Thermal Cutout If the water temperature exceeds the highest preset level, the thermal cut-out cuts off the power supply to assure safety. Safety Valve The safety valve is designed to automatically relieve pressure and discharge water in case the pressure overshoots the preset limits. Note: A. O. Smith reserves the right to amend or modify the specifications and features at any time, as and when required without any prior notification. 5 Safety Precautions During Installation Do not install the water heater where there is direct sunlight or rain.

Figure 6 • Water heater must be located within 3-1/2 ft. (approx.) from a grounded 230V electrical outlet. • Make sure that the wall can withstand at least twice the weight of the water heater when completely filled with water. Figure 7 3-1/2 ft. Solid Concrete Wall • Use a drill bit with diameter of 10mm to drill 2 holes at least 90mm deep in the wall (Fig. 8 : Step 3). The two holes should be aligned horizontally. The horizontal distance between the 2 holes should be 150mm. (Fig. 8 : Step 2) Figure 8 1 False Wall • Insert the Expansion Anchors into the holes (Fig. 9 : Step 1). • Place the Hanging screws over the expansion anchors and tighten the Hanging Screws by rotating it till it gets fixed steadily (Fig. 9 : Step 2). Figure 9 1 150 mm 3 Expansion Anchors 90 mm Concrete Wall Concrete Wall Hole Hole 2 Hanging Screws 2 150 mm Concrete Wall Drilling Tool 7 • Place the water heater on the Hanging Screws through the Installation Bracket. (Fig. 10) Tug downwards on the water heater to ensure that the water heater is fixed steadily.

Figure 11 Figure 12 8 Connect one end of the Discharge Tube to the Safety Valve and connect the other end to the drain. Figure 13 Connecting to Water Supply • Make necessary plumbing with reference to the Installation Diagram. (Fig. 14) • A. O. Smith recommends Nylon/ Stainless Steel (SS) braided hoses (Flexible Hoses) having a minimum pressure rating of 8 Bar and hoses should be compatible for hot water applications. • Blue Cap **Safety Valve Discharge Lever Connect the cold water pipe to the inlet [Blue Cap]. Discharge Tube Red Cap • Connect the hot water pipe to the outlet [Red Cap]. *Flexible Hose • Attach the Discharge Tube to Safety Valve as shown in Installation Diagram.

Ensure that the free end of the Discharge tube is placed over a suitable drain and away from the users. • Discharge tube is provided to release the discharge from the water heater(through the safety valve) in case excessive pressure is developed. The contents of the discharge from the Safety valve may be hot and may cause burns to the users and damage nearby objects if not properly routed to a drain. • It is recommended to operate the discharge lever in the safety valve on a regular basis to ensure that there are no blockages and also to remove any lime deposits that would have been formed inside the water heater. • Ensure that the water heater is in power OFF condition when the Discharge lever is being operated. Ensure that the water is filled completely in the water heater before switching it ON. Use only Nylon/ Stainless Steel (SS) braided hoses (Flexible Hoses) having a minimum pressure rating of 8 Bar and hoses should be compatible for hot water applications. • • Failure to follow this instruction can result in property damage. 10 Operation Filling the Water Heater 1.
